This year, we will have an extra added attractioni Archon Treasurer Robert (Denny) Watt, Washington *35# will be our guest. Then, in perhaps the most important part of the evening, our intrepid songleader will.prepare us for oinr triumphant victory in the Interfratemity Sing.

After the Sing, we will return to the Chapter House for more conversation, singing, beer, etc. A good time is guaranteed all comers. — There is still more. If you plan to be in Chicago on the evening of Friday, you are invited to join a gathering of brothers at the home of James W.

His phone number is (312) 225-7872, if you need directions. Even if you can attend only one of these events, please inform us at once. Also, mark your calendar at once. If you put this publication down without doing both of these things, statistics show that you are extremely unlikely to do either. Avoid this \mdesirable result by mailing the (dual purpose) preprinted reservation form in the enclosed preaddressed envelope. « Do it now. DORM ROOM DIVISION FINISHED - FINALLY! * The largest Chapter House project since the addition of the third floor dormitory is now complete. The open dormitory area, which had been severely und vinderutilized for the last eight to ten years, has been divided into two doubles, one single, and a smaller dormitory room. In addition, the third floor bath has been expanded and completely renovated. What was once the 'Cave* is now part of a large modem facility which serves all ten permanent occupants of the third floor, plus any guests of the Chapter living in the dormitory. Your Board and the Chapter can now speak from personal experience about construction delays. The work which was originally scheduled for completion September 15, 1979( three months and a half after the first nail was driven ) dragged on all winter, sometimes at Jin excruciatingly slow pace. The Chapter bore the brunt of the delay, with the heaviest burden falling on those who lived on the third floor, and on those who had planned to live in the new rooms which were not available on time. \r\nAs you will see when you return for the Pig Dinner, the sacrifice and expenditure were certainly not made in vain. The new rooms are attractive and comfortable. The trim in the newly renovated area harmonizes with that in the rest of the house. The bathroom is done in ceramic tile. just remodeled, we have improved. In short, we have not The Chapter will be the stronger for it.' * FUND RAISING - - IT*S NOT OVER YET * As you can see from the preceding article, we have had our share of the problems and delays which accompany any project of the size and importance of the remodeling project. Much of the Board's time and energy was diverted to our first priority of resolving these problems to be sure the work was completed satisfactorily. Now that the remodeling project is finished, the Board is ready to turn its attention to an unfinished fund raising program. At the time of the last Fijigram, brothers had made contributions or pledges amounting to $6215. As a result of that mailing, we received additional funds, and at this moment have received commitments for an approximate total of $8700 during the nine months of our Chi Upsilon Growth Fund campaign, Vfhen combined with the rents received from the undergraduate chapter and the funds held in reserve by the Board, we have been able to spend the $16,790 to complete the remodeling project while simultaneously spending a good deal more for ordinary expenses and repairs. While we believe these expenditures have unquestionably strengthened the Chapter, they have left the Board's resovirces at a dangerously low level. The truth is that given the costs of maintaining a structure like the Chapter House, the Board cannot afford to pay for the remodeling project out of it s reserves - - the project must be paid for in its entirety by yotir contributions. We are, therefore, renewing our request for financial support for the remodeling project. Our resxilts thus far have been gratifying. Even taking into account inflation, we have received more money than all but very few past fund raising csimpaigns. We have, moreover, received contributions from more brothers than has virtvially any other campaign. We are grateful to the many contributors, but for the sake of the long term health of the organization, we know we cannot declare the Chi Upsilon Growth Fund campaign a success until the entire $16,790 has been raised. To those brothers who have not as yet given to the campaign, we ask that you do so now; and to those generous brothers who "have already given, we ask that you add to your support. Please return the slip at the bottom of the last page with your contri bution - - we are anxiously waiting to hear from you. * NEWS OF THE UNDERGRADUATE CHAPTER » On January 18, 1980» Chi Upsilon initiated the following mem Gregory Abbot Bedell '82 Long Island, N.Y.
